Event: The Future of Russian Power: Threat Perceptions, Military Reconstitution, and Economic Constraints    It is tempting to imagine that whenever the war in Ukraine ends, Russia will be permanently weakened and more inward-looking. That would be a mistake. To energize a rigorous, policy-relevant transatlantic conversation about the Russian challenge—and how to meet it—the Carnegie Endowment’s Russia and Eurasia Program recently launched The Future of Russian Power, a major new interdisciplinary research initiative.     The Future of Russian Power aims to explain why an unrepentant Kremlin will emerge from the war determined to seek revenge against Ukraine and its Western partners, to reconstitute the country’s military power, and to impose its vision of security on the European continent. A sampling of research tied to the initiative, including Eugene Rumer’s recent paper, “Belligerent and Beleaguered: Russia After the War with Ukraine,” is available here.      To mark the launch of this project, Carnegie’s Michael Kofman, Dara Massicot, Alexandra Prokopenko, and Eugene Rumer will join moderator David E. Hoffman, former Washington Post editor and foreign correspondent, for a wide-ranging conversation on where Russia stands and what comes next.    RSVP: https://lnkd.in/e8bMuAKZ    And check out some of the research from the initiative here: https://lnkd.in/eUCw3JYR
